Chapter 89 Kill the dragon
Suddenly, the pool water surged like a tide, and the aquatic plants in the pool rose with the waves, soaring several meters into the air. The ladies and gentlemen were so frightened that they fled in all directions, screaming as they tried to avoid the torrential water and the withered leaves and flowers that were coming at them.
The ceiling above Shu Hongyi's head is painted with lifelike colors, changing like an animation.
But the two seemed to be in two different worlds, and Shu Hongyi did not notice any unusual sounds at all.
A long-bodied demon beast, tens of feet tall, with a white belly and blue back, its scales spraying water droplets, stood upright on the pool. Its eyes were wide open, its five claws poised to pounce out of the painting and tear at Shu Hongyi.
At this moment, Shu Hongyi was completely focused on guarding against the increasingly imposing presence of the bookshelf and did not look up to see the changes in the painting.
"Shu..."
Luo Sifan waited in silence for a long time, and finally couldn't help but follow. As soon as he stepped into the room, he was stunned by the spectacular view of the colorful paintings on the ceiling of the study. He was so surprised that he forgot to say anything.
Seeing that their sneak attack had failed, the monster in the painting roared and charged straight at the two of them.
The giant claw instantly broke through the painting and appeared above the study, followed by a gaping maw of white teeth, dripping with excited saliva.
A deafening roar broke out of the painting and rushed towards the two of them.
The dramatic change happened in an instant, and Shu Hongyi only had time to turn around and look at Luo Sifan, who had made a strange sound.
Luo Sifan's innate sword body was startled and moved. A million sword intents gathered into a beam and were unleashed with all their might, slashing at the giant claws and mouth of the demonic beast.
The hissing sounds continued as the beast's tough hide and claws shattered Luo Sifan's sword energy, creating wisps of white mist.
It seems that it can only slightly delay the monster's downward attack.
Shu Hongyi's long hair fluttered as she was the first to be hit. The look of surprise on her face had barely appeared when the chilling aura of the giant claw's hooked fangs descended upon her. Shu Hongyi's soul froze for a moment, and her reaction was several times slower.
"Senior Shu!"
Luo Sifan had already exerted all his strength, and just as the giant melon was about to strike, Shu Hongyi stood frozen, unable to block it. In a panic, she roared.
Shu Hongyi understood, but she knew the bitterness in her heart. She hadn't expected that the demonic beast's oppressive aura could actually disturb her mind and soul.
Unable to control the sword energy or unleash the lightning, she could only rely on her physical instincts to slash with her sword.
Fortunately, Zhanjiao was still in her hand, saving her a precious moment.
"Slay the dragon!"
Shu Hongyi spoke angrily, and with a clang of her sword, she cleaved the dragon-slaying blade into the monster's white hooked fangs from a distance of about a foot from its face.
Both were harder than metal and stone, and the sound of their collision was high-pitched and piercing, creating a booming sound wave.
Shu Hongyi's face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and swung her sword. The giant claw came down with the force of a collapsing mountain. In the blink of an eye, Shu Hongyi had exhausted all her physical strength. Her body cracked and creaked, and she was in danger of collapsing at any moment.
Once the sword was drawn, there was no turning back. Shu Hongyi knew it was a life-or-death strike, so she held nothing back.
Luo Sifan was deathly pale and unable to move. As the giant claw pressed down inch by inch, Shu Hongyi's body distorted and emitted strange noises, on the verge of collapsing and dying.
"Slay the dragon!"
He couldn't help but speak out in frustration, shouting angrily. The projection of the dragon-slaying creature in his soul was also swept over by Luo Sifan's raging anger.
The hesitant horned dragon leaped off the entwined stone pillar as if it had been kicked hard.
"Oh no, Mom and Dad are really angry!"
Jiaojiao scratched his head, looking somewhat bewildered.
Ever since Xiao Yi caused trouble, Luo Sifan had taken in the horned dragon as his son, but he had never thought about how to use it. Now, his furious shout made the horned dragon feel a deadly pressure.
The horned dragon's soul, which had always been fickle, was forced to take on the role of a sword spirit.
A bitter smile appeared on her lips. Shu Hongyi, who was calmly awaiting death, suddenly felt her hand go lightly and stumbled forward. The tension in her body suddenly dissipated, and a mouthful of sweet blood rushed to her throat.
With her blood rushing back and her vision going black, Shu Hongyi completely forgot where she was, feeling dizzy as if she had bumped into a pile of cotton.
Deeply immersed in it, her whole body felt weak. Shu Hongyi had forgotten the danger for a moment, only thinking about curling up inside and resting for a few seconds.
Luo Sifan held her in his arms, his heart finally at ease. He knew it was just the reaction after his body was exhausted, and he had no romantic thoughts.
He stared intently at the battle between the Dragon-Slaying Sword and the demonic beasts after the sword transformed into a spirit.
The white light on the sword surged, and the horned dragon shape formed by the sword energy gradually solidified.
The myriad sword intents refined within the sword coiled around the dragon-slaying sword, transforming into divine light surrounding the horned dragon.
The horned dragon swirled and roared, transforming into the sound of swords clashing. The long sword, like a dragon, slashed straight down at the body of the demon beast that had been exposed in the painting.
The demon beast had clearly never witnessed a divine sword transforming into a spirit, and it didn't know when to advance or retreat. Seeing its own kind, it became even more ferocious and charged forward viciously.
Luo Sifan saw a waterfall of blood cascade down, splashing onto the floorboards, followed by several loud thuds as severed claws and limbs weighing over a thousand pounds crashed down.
The monster screamed in agony and frantically twisted and shrank back into the painting.
The horned dragon, having succeeded in its attack, was in high spirits and full of confidence. It continued to fly around in the painting, repeatedly trying to break through the area.
Aside from the flashing light of the realm, the full-force attack of the Dragon-Slaying Sword could not shake the realm in the slightest.
"Save your energy, just keep an eye on this place!"
Luo Sifan had no choice but to give the order to the horned dragon.
The horned dragon, having accomplished nothing, was already considering retreating. Luo Sifan's words were exactly what he wanted to hear, and he happily began to patrol the painting, occasionally glancing at the tragic scene of withered flowers and plants and churning blood in the pool.
With his arms around Shu Hongyi, Luo Sifan frowned as he stepped over the blood-soaked floorboards and sat down in a chair, waiting for Shu Hongyi to recover.
Startled by the strange noises coming from the room, Jiang Wanfeng rushed in with difficulty, stood at the door, and seemed to choke, unable to utter a sound.
The stench of blood was overwhelming; the massive, ferocious beast's severed limbs and giant claws were still twitching in the pool of blood.
A long sword shaped like a dragon, seemingly possessing sentience, hovered in mid-air, eager to strike him with ill intent.
Luo Sifan shook his head and stopped the horned dragon, then invited Jiang Wanfeng to come in and sit down.
The oppressive power and awe-inspiring scene in the room forced Jiang Wanfeng to tiptoe around, his feet soaked with blood, before he slowly moved to sit down near Luo Sifan.
The dragon-slaying creature swam merrily behind him, its sword's power brushing past him.
"What's wrong with Senior Shu?"
Jiang Wanfeng's legs were still trembling slightly, and Shu Hongyi's condition added to his worries.
He assumed the devastation was caused by Shu Hongyi's fierce battle. Now that Shu Hongyi was unconscious, further exploration of the city lord's mansion would be even more risky.
"It's nothing, she's just recovering from exhaustion, she'll be fine after a rest."
Luo Sifan said calmly, as Shu Hongyi in his arms was being probed by his Taiyi Qingxuan spiritual energy.
Sword cultivators have powerful physical bodies. Shu Hongyi had been pushing herself to the limit for so long that her deformed and cracked body was slowly reshaped and restored under the nourishment of her sword energy.
Suddenly, the soft body in her arms felt warm. Shu Hongyi opened her eyes, and sword energy instantly flowed through her entire body, moving as usual.
Luo Sifan met her gaze and inexplicably sensed a flash of murderous intent that came and went.
The Dragon-Slaying Sword froze in mid-air, feeling awkward and unsure of what to do amidst their embarrassing atmosphere.
"Put me down!"
Shu Hongyi gritted her teeth and whispered. The scene before her was familiar yet frustrating, and she couldn't vent her anger.
It turns out that the pile of cotton that had trapped her before she fainted from exhaustion was actually this frivolous playboy who had taken advantage of her countless times, always speaking righteously and leaving her speechless!
Overwhelmed with shame and anger, Shu Hongyi's limbs were still weak. Her red dress trembled slightly, and her beautiful face changed. In Luo Sifan's eyes and hands, there was a thousand kinds of intoxicating charm.
